Los Angeles, Apr 9 Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth is officially returning for the third part of his Netflix action franchise, "Extraction".
The "Avengers: Endgame" star has finalized a deal to reprise his role as mercenary Tyler Rake in the new installment, according to Deadline.
Action director-turned-filmmaker Sam Hargrave will once again be behind the camera for the project, which will feature a script by David Weil.
Actors Golshifteh Farahani and Idris Elba are also returning.
Hemsworth shared the news on Instagram, writing, "Excited for the next installment of 'Extraction'! Let's go."
Details about the plot remain undisclosed, but the film promises another high-stakes mission, with Rake and his team undertaking a new and dangerous extraction.
The "Extraction" franchise is based on the graphic novel "Ciudad" by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, and Fernando León González.
It began with the 2020 film "Extraction", directed by Hargrave and produced by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, best known for their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Set largely in Dhaka, the first film follows Rake, a black-market operative tasked with rescuing an Indian crime lord's kidnapped son. It became one of Netflix's most-watched originals and was praised for its gritty tone and long-take action sequences.
Hemsworth's character seemingly died at the end of the first movie, but he was brought back in the sequel due to the film's overwhelming popularity.
The follow-up, "Extraction 2" (2023), continues his story, focusing on a high-risk prison rescue mission in Georgia.
"Extraction 3" is set to begin production this summer.
